@@Luke-cb3ly yeah the E-Ray is insanely fast: they clocked it 2.4s for the 0-60mph run. And it's less power than the Z06 i think, which is at 2.6s (but the Z06 is faster at higher speeds of course).

"It's called a wheel for a reason, the clue is in the word". Nicely said Chris, absolutely hilarious in fact!
@moogle68
@moogle68 Жыл бұрын
Ironically, he then proceeded to point out that he likes the EXACT reason *why* they made it a squircle; because it allows you to _perfectly_ and _fully_ see the rectangular gauge cluster screen in front of you in a way that a circular steering wheel wouldn't be able to. It may feel weird, but I didn't see him "grabbing air" at any point in the video, and he still managed some of his usual beautiful drifts with the squircle wheel, so I think it's fair to say it's something an owner would probably get used to rather quickly. Or, if it bothers them that much, I'm sure you could get someone to fit an older Corvette model's circular steering wheel (it probably has similar buttons, so it might be easier to reintegrate the controls).

@@moogle68 exactly like in almost supercars you'd been really hating that you can't see shit in gauge clusters unless you'll install the steering wheel like you're driving goddamn school bus. And Chevy just thought about that and "wait, WHY do you need in round? it's kinda not even a wheel in racecars, huh?" and put that, so you perfectly see everything. So small decision, so brilliant attention to the detail.

I do not know another car you get for the money that performs as well as this one does. Had mine for 5 months now and the only thing I don't like a lot is the way the back end looks. The rest of the car is great, well worth the money imo.

That's what separates the new C8 from the rest of the "super" cars out there is it's weirdness or quirkiness which I personally am fond of! The great wall of buttons I find rather Ingenious and a bit of evolution & the squared off steering wheel (squircle) gives it that extra aggression for interior styling, definitely not boring at all! Great driving as usual Chris! He definitely knows how to properly introduce an automobile!👍😁

The longness is the same as what happened with the original NSX. They wanted to make a supercar that you could, in theory, drive every day. So there's space to put things. That was a revolutionary idea. The C8 Corvette is the true successor to the NSX because it's proven that you can have a supercar for somewhat reasonable prices. None of this Ferrari or McLaren nonsense where you're spending well into the 6 figures. The Corvette makes sense and the sacrifices are all worth it for a supercar that you could, in theory, drive every day.

And double wishbones all around! Given that the new Acura Integra Type S starts at over $50,000, this shit is beginning to look like a bargain. And do you really need 600, 700, even 800 horsepower? Near 500 is plenty for most folk - anymore is more than most can handle. It's why the 911 GTS is about right and the new Turbo is getting to be a bit of overkill, especially since you can't get a gas tank greater than 17 gallons (unless you get the GT3 Touring, and as glorious as that it, it'll set you back some coin).

The C8 is really the successor to the C7 and all its antecedents. They were always spec'd to be used daily: it's not just a Corvette, its a Chevy! They have room for stuff, and are tested like every other daily Chevy and Ford in every conceivable environment. And (after the first-year new model bugs are worked out; what's become a Corvette tradition) they are exceptionally reliable, don't cost a fortune to run, and can be serviced at...a Chevy dealer.

Nope. The C8.R is based on the 2020 Corvette Stingray, and the manufacturer says the C8.R shares the highest percentage of parts between the production and race car than any previous generation. The C8.R utilizes a production 2020 Stingray chassis structure produced in the Bowling Green Assembly plant. The chassis is then modified to meet race series requirements. The new C8.R chassis structure is significantly stiffer and lighter than its predecessor. Source: Racer

@@hagestad That's true of literally every single GTE or GT3 category car. Seriously, the 911 RSR has the entire engine and transmission assembly flipped around so it's mid-engined instead of rear-engined. The only things modern GT race cars share with their production counterparts are the base chassis and the engine, and even those are heavily modified for race use.

Never mind, all I care about is the evaluation of the driving characteristics. It's entertaining to watch, too. Question I have is, could Dr Harris try both the wide stance slide mode and a less spectacular driving style and see which is quickest in this mid engine marvel?

@philippeleblond9631 Hey, it's not my dream. It's a really nice 2023 Stingray R. While you're trying to make fun at my car, I own 3, 2023 cars, and you still haven't said anything about what you drive. By the way, you are addressing a retired Army Master Sgt of 23 years. There's really no need to go back and forth. Have a blessed day 🙏🏾

I was turned on to Chris after watching his Toyota GT86 review which got me excited in anticipation for my BRZ before it was delivered in its 2012 launch year. Over a decade later my C8 order is rapidly approaching delivery and it's deja with the hype feelings from Chris all over again.

People will never all agree on what constitutes good-looking. I do think they should maybe offer people a choice of having the square steering wheel or a traditional round one.

Pack a lunch, invite a guest, it's a nice day and the roof panel is off on the twisty two lane following a narrow river valley. Park at a wide spot, break out the lunch. Now that's living life large.

Without that trunk you have no place to store the targa top. Aside from that, a lot of Corvette owners actually use their cars as more than toys. I've travelled all over the east cost of the US in mine. Without that trunk space, it would only be a weekend toy. The wheel? Took me about 10 minutes to get used to it, and it make the entire gauge panel easy to read. The buttons on the console? The ones at the bottom are for the passenger. The driver never needs to touch them. Seem like you were looking for things to complain about.

If we could actually get the Corvette over here for MSRP without dealer mark-ups I would definitely feel lucky/fortunate, however you will likely have to pay at least $10k over list price in order to walk out the door with out for the first year or two.

Lol. Most Brits cannot fully like an American or Japanese car. It's never quite perfect for them. If it is, they have to make up some kind of criticism like it somehow being il-proportioned when it in fact looks great. I love Brits who can openly admit when they love America and our stuff, like Richard Hammond.

I find that to be very true. I would never click on a car review for a vehicle that doesn't appeal to me. This car has been out since 2020 and we still get comments from trolls or fanboys. They feel the need to protect European sport cars. Crazy stuff.
